Re: i have a dumb question.
I would say that they are the same. But, I really don't know.

Re: i have a dumb question.

Re: i have a dumb question.
single wheel axels are about 3" wider than the dual wheel axles....I ran into this building my 35 ford ton truck in order to keep the dualy's centered on the narrow front wheel base I had to use a single wheel axle and convert the studs to us it as a dually.........hope that makes sence

Re: i have a dumb question.
yea it makes sense the dually a smaller width because the rims need spacing between them. that sucks because i wanted to use the axle from the dually that im going to cut up

I can't help you, but I'd like to make a minor comment.
